Thinking Kinky : The Nappy Haired Diva

I've had a love and hate relationship with food since I can remember. I would get excited over a slice of pizza and then regret the several slices I ate after the first. This isn't something that's uncommon to many people. There are some of us who just like to eat. We live to eat instead of eating to live.

Aside from great backpacks, GORUCK has some cool every day items like the Ruck It Koozie. Because I love a good play on words, the Ruck It Koozie is something I would have loved to pulled out...
